Adrift Program

Short time-management game on a spaceship that needs to keep running. Although there are two difficulty levels, I recommend starting with "easy" because "normal" leaves a lot to experimentation and doesn't explain when new mechanics appear. This may be changed at any moment, making it quite simple to swap after you've gotten used to it. The game takes you through eight stages in which you must keep the ship running. You accomplish this by rotating various workstations, manufacturing different batteries, and loading fuel into containers. On the right, current tasks are displayed, along with icons indicating what is required. You gain points for completing the task quickly and lose them if you fail to do so. The stage also has a time limit. A great performance awards you one of three medals that reflect your mastery of the stage. The other two medals are awarded simply for finishing a stage and completing all tasks without failing. It's all really simple because interacting with equipment requires only one button. Another plus is that you just need to produce four items. Since there is no running, you must plan ahead if you want to get the best score. Fortunately, you can leave items on the floor to be used later. If you have something you don't need, a trash can will take it. This can be completed in about an hour. Getting the highest score isn't difficult if you keep moving. Achievements are great because they don't require a lot of effort.
